## Description

Amendment to answer vendor questions Regarding the solicitation included in the subject line for ASL interpretation services in NC VA facilities, the contract outlines the need for training/paperwork to be completed by interpreters. Will interpreters be compensated for the required training? If so, is there a document listing the rates for said compensation? No compensation for the training. They would be given access to TMS to take the training at home. Historically, what is the demand for services per location?

The locations that will typically see more use for ASL services would be 251 N. Main St., Ft. Liberty, and Camp Lejeune. Right now, 251 N. Main has an immediate need. The other addresses were added as those locations are in our scope of employment. Â Â Â Â Of the 2500 estimated hours, how much is estimated as regularly scheduled, and how much is ad hoc? Around 50-60 hours per month should be the average and about 10 hours could be adhoc. How much advanced notice will be given for ad hoc assignments? 48-hours
